ABSTRACT
The Chemistry Handbook was developed to assist nuclear
facility operating contractors in providing operators, maintenance
personnel, and the technical staff with the necessary fundamentals
training to ensure a basic understanding of chemistry. The handbook
includes information on the atomic structure of matter; chemical
bonding; chemical equations; chemical interactions involved with
corrosion processes; water chemistry control, including the
principles of water treatment; the hazards of chemicals and gases,
and basic gaseous diffusion processes. This information will provide
personnel with a foundation for understanding the chemical properties
of materials and the way these properties can impose limitations on
the operation of equipment and systems. Volumen

INSTRUMENTATION
AND CONTROL. The handbook includes information on temperature,
pressure, flow, and level detection systems; position indication
systems; process control systems; and radiation detection principles.
This information will provide personnel with an understanding of the
basic operation of various types of DOE nuclear facility
instrumentation and control systems. Volumen

THERMODYNAMICS,
HEAT TRANSFER, AND FLUID FLOW. The handbook includes information
on thermodynamics and the properties of fluids; the three modes of
heat transfer - conduction, convection, and radiation; and fluid
flow, and the energy relationships in fluid systems. This information
will provide personnel with a foundation for understanding the basic
operation of various types of DOE nuclear facility fluid systems.

NUCLEAR
PHYSICS AND REACTOR THEORY. The handbook includes information on
atomic and nuclear physics; neutron characteristics; reactor theory
and nuclear parameters; and the theory of reactor operation. This
information will provide personnel with a foundation for
understanding the scientific principles that are associated with
various DOE nuclear facility operations and maintenance. Volumen
